This policy applies to maintenance of sanitary sewer laterals, storm sewer laterals and water services and the procedure for household sewer backups.
A. 
General policy.
(1) 
The Village of Allouez is responsible for maintenance of mainline sewers and water mains in the roadway. The Village provides scheduled sewer cleaning to ensure the sanitary sewer mains do not experience blockages.
(2) 
The property owner is responsible to maintain the sanitary and storm laterals clear of grease, leaves, rags, tree roots and other foreign material from the sanitary and storm sewer in the roadway to the property owner's house/building. The property owner must use a sewer lateral service contractor for this maintenance. Routine maintenance of the entire lateral is the property owner's responsibility.
(3) 
If a property owner experiences a basement sewer backup, the Village cleans and inspects the main sewer in the roadway to ensure there is no sewer blockage. The Village prepares a record of the basement backup event.
(4) 
A defect or failure of a sanitary or storm lateral or a water service is defined as a broken pipe, a collapsed pipe, excessive root growth in the pipe, or a break at the connection to the main sewer or at the private property connection to the Village installed lateral. A water service failure is usually a leak in the service with water present on the ground or in a household sump pit.
B. 
Private property sewer backup or water leak procedure.
(1) 
If a sanitary or storm lateral backup or a water service leak occurs the property owner should immediately notify the Village. Call the Water Utility or the Public Works Department.
(2) 
If a sanitary or storm lateral or water service backup or failure occurs, the property owner is encouraged to immediately contact his homeowner's insurance for assistance with the basement cleanup and other costs.
(3) 
If a basement sewer backup occurs, the property owner must contact a sewer lateral service contractor to have the sewer lateral cleaned and/or televised. The property owner/contractor must contact the Village to make sure that a Village representative is present during the televising or provide a videotape of the televising to the Village.
C. 
Responsibility for sewer lateral and water service repairs.
(1) 
If a defect is discovered in the sanitary sewer or storm sewer lateral, the property owner must make necessary repairs utilizing a sewer lateral service contractor/excavator. It is the private property owner's responsibility to coordinate and complete the lateral repair. The property owner must inform the Village of the schedule for the repair so the Village can observe the repair and determine the responsibility for the repair cost.
(2) 
If the defect or failure is within the street right-of-way (from the sewer main to the point of connection to the private lateral) the cost to repair including televising is a Village cost. The property owner will be reimbursed for the cost.
(3) 
If the defect or failure is at the point of connection to the lateral or in the service from the point of connection to the house/building, the repair cost is the property owner's, including the televising cost. Failure of the point of connection to the lateral is considered a property owner cost because the connection was made by the property owner.
(4) 
The same criteria apply to a water service lateral except that the point of connection is the water shutoff valve at the curb stop.
(5) 
The point of connection of a lateral or water service is generally located between the back of curb and the street right-of-way property line. The exact location of the connection point may vary depending when the lateral was installed and other factors.
A. 
All property owners shall pay to the Village of Allouez, at or before the time of connection, a fee which shall include the cost of materials, construction, laying and connecting laterals and sewer pipes from a sanitary main, interceptor or lateral to the lot line, or to the building to be serviced, or both. A separate fee shall be assessed for the cost of providing the water service to the property and the cost for water supply capacity provided by the Central Brown County Water Authority for service provided to the property. Alternately, the property owner may sign an assessment agreement with the Village prior to the work which shall assess the installation cost of a lateral or water service over a period of up to five years at an interest rate established by the Village.
B. 
This connection fee shall not be applicable in the event that the property has been assessed, or an assessment has previously been paid, for a sanitary sewer main or water service.
C. 
In the event that the connection fee is not paid at or before the time of connection, the Clerk-Treasurer shall place the fee on the tax rolls as a special assessment, whereupon it shall be a lien against the lot or parcel served.
A. 
Purposes and scope. The Village of Allouez in cooperation with the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District has provided facilities for collection, transmission and treatment of wastewater to promote the health, safety and convenience of its people and to safeguard the water resources common to all. In such facilities, provisions of design, construction and operation have been made to accommodate certain types and quantities of commercial and industrial wastes in excess of, and in addition to, normal wastewater. The Village Board has determined that it is the obligation of the producers of domestic, commercial and industrial wastes to defray the cost of normal, and extraordinary, services rendered by the Village of Allouez in the collection, transmission, and treatment of such wastes in an equitable manner and, insofar as it is practicable, in proportion to the benefits derived from such services. It has been also determined that proper protection and operation of the collection and treatment facilities may require either the exclusion, pretreatment or controlled discharge, at point of origin, of certain types or quantities of domestic, commercial and industrial wastes.

(7) 
Waste sampling. Industrial wastes discharged into the public sewers shall be subject to periodic inspection and a determination of character and concentration. The determination shall be made as often as deemed necessary by the approving authority. If any said testing by the Village shall show a changed degree of pollution load in the wastewater being discharged, such new test results shall be used in computing the subsequent billings, but no reduction shall be made unless at least a full day of operation of the person's plant has undergone the test. Any person may request the Village of Allouez to make new tests, such tests to be at the expense of the person discharging the waste and such tests to be a minimum of 24 hours' duration. Such tests shall be allowed or conducted solely at the discretion of the approving authority. If the approving authority is satisfied that such test was made when the plant was operating under normal conditions, the results of these tests shall be used in computing the subsequent billing in the manner previously prescribed.
(8) 
Analysis. Laboratory test procedures used in the examination of industrial wastes shall be those set forth in Ch. NR 219, Wis. Adm. Code, and shall be made by the Village of Allouez at the cost of the person.
